- One of Elliott's movie pitches, which he made in Episode 73: Devil.
- The movie stars the titular Rocket Crocodile, who is an astronaut who falls through a timewarp and lands in the future which for some reason has dinosaurs and becomes a rockstar. He has to stop the clothing bandit who's stealing the wardrobe of all the beautiful women in the world.
- He has a cynical, wise-crackin' zebra sidekick, who is not afraid of being eaten by Rocket. They have a romantic storyline.
- Both Gina Gershon and Carla Gugino are nude in, like, every scene. Rocket Crocodile is fully clothed.
- The soundtrack is scored jointly by Talking Heads and Danzig.
- Elliott has already pitched the sequel Rocket Crocodile Goes to the Past, in which he has to go back to the '50s to get his parents together.

Original Pitch[]
Dan: Let's move on to recommendations. Movies that you may have seen recently. Or not, if you haven't had time. Elliott: Can we recommend movies we haven't seen? Stuart: Yes. Dan: Uhh...I don't know why you'd do that, but yeah. Elliott: In which case, I'd like to recommend Rocket Crocodile in the World of Tomorrow. It's a movie that doesn't exist, and I'm making it up as I go along. It involves a crocodile astronaut. He accidentally falls through a time machine warp, and becomes a rockstar in the World of the Future, which also has dinosaurs. Dan: Hm. I don't know how I'm going to link to that on the website. Elliott: Oh, yeah. Dan: Usually I link to the IMDb— Elliott: And Gina Gershon is nude in like every scene. Dan: Okay, sure. So, like any Gina Gershon role. Elliott: Oh yeah, you're right. Also: Carla Gugino is nude in every scene. Dan: Like half of her roles. Um... Elliott: Rocket Crocodile is fully clothed. Stuart: Do they have speaking roles, or are they just naked in the background? Elliott: I mean, there's a little bit of that. Stuart: Okay. Elliott: There's a little bit of speaking, you know. Stuart: Okay. Dan: Yeah. Just to make it not exploitative. Stuart: And to set up the nudity, like: "Oh man, it's so hot in here!" Elliott: "I'm gonna take a shower now, but I'll just stand around first." Stuart: Or: "Who put all these ants in my clothing?" Elliott: Yeah, yeah. Dan: I would love to see that— Elliott: They just— Stuart: So: Rocket Crocodile—haven't seen it yet, but you know. Keep your eyes peeled at the cineplex. Elliott: It's—I'm giving it five out of five Amazings. Stuart: So, go to Netflix, put "Save", go to—put "Save" so that it goes into your queue... Dan: Whatever the, whatever movie comes up on the autofill— Elliott: Just take it. Dan: —the closest match— Elliott: —that's closest to "Rocket Crocodile in the World of Tomorrow"— Stuart: Probably is Dollman. Elliott: Soundtrack by the, by Talking Heads. They got back together to do the soundtrack. Dan: Wow! Stuart: Sure. Elliott: And Danzig. Dan: He got them together, that's— Elliott: Glenn Danzig and David Byrne, finally working together. Dan: I'm, well I'm amazed that Rocket Crocodile solved the Byrne-Weymouth rift that has kept Talking Heads from reuniting. Elliott: Oh yeah, well: it's the world of tomorrow. Dan: All right, well, your—that's your recommendation, Elliott. Elliott: He has to, he has to stop the Clothing Bandit who's stealing clothing from all the beautiful women in the world. Stuart: I think I've seen this movie...in my dreams. Dan: You're thinking of The Devil Wears Nada. Stuart: Oh, okay. Dan: Which you should also watch instead of Devil. Stuart: I thought I was thinking of The Invisible Maniac again. Elliott: I love how you have like three movies that you recommend in rotation. Stuart: I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but he kills a guy with a submarine sandwich. Elliott: You mentioned it many times.
Elliott: Did I mention that Rocket Crocodile's sidekick is a wisecracking zebra? Dan: No. Stuart: Is it animated, or a guy in a zebra suit? Dan: Now— Elliott: It's a guy in a zebra suit, but the mouth is animated. Dan: —is the zebra afraid that Rocket Crocodile's gonna eat him? Or her? Elliott: No, no. He's wisecracking. Dan: Okay. Elliott: He's, you know, like he's cynical, he's seen it all. Dan: Okay. Elliott: And he's a girl. Dan: Okay. Elliott: So there's a romance. Stuart: Like a, like an Eddie Murphy type? Elliott: Exactly, yeah. You know, like Osmosis Jones. Dan: It's like a bromance, but with girls. Elliott: Wait—a gromance.
Elliott: I got a recommendation to make! Dan: A real one? Elliott: Sure! Stuart: The sequel to Rocket Crocodile. Elliott: It's called Rocket Crocodile Goes to the Past. He has to go to the Fifties— Dan: Rocket to the Past. Elliott: Rocket—no. Rocket Crocodile has to go to the Fifties to get his parents together, because otherwise he won't be born. Dan: And to write "Rocket Around the Clock".
